Chapter 9: Be a Hero
Roque picked up his sword and axe and looked up at Lulunaka, "Are you kidding, ma'am?"
Lulunaka just smiled at Roque's questioning, "Can you just take me as if I was joking, and then give up resistance and let that guy practice his sword?" Lulunaka pointed at Julius, who was now stunned, "I think he's too gentle when he slashes people, maybe he needs a thick-skinned one to get him used to - are you really not going to resist?"
This time Julius looked up and shouted at Lulunaka, "Wait, I didn't know you had such plans, did you plan to let me deal with this big man alone!"
Roque wasn't very tall, he was a short but strong man compared to Olga and Pattin. But in Julius's eyes, he was already a tall and strong man. Julius's body, which was still developing and had been stunted for a long time, was like a big rock against a small sapling in front of Roque. Roque's big stone could easily crush Julius's sapling into several pieces.
Julius looked at Roque's blackened body and tensed again. If Lulunaka wasn't joking, then he'd have to deal with the sturdy warrior in front of him - obviously, seeing Roque wielding his sword and axe, he has no intention of really not resisting. Lulunaka, on the other hand, never jokes much at times like these, at least she doesn't say "it's just a joke" and tell Julius to step down.
Since she said so, then she really intended to leave Julius alone to face Roque.
Lulunaka waved her cane and shouted to Julius, "Come on, Julius, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you finally have a chance to become a hero!" Lulunaka's cane pointed at Roque, "This Mr. Captain is a human trafficker, and for his own desires, there are countless small villages, caravans and travelers that he has attacked and destroyed. And having such a great hideout in such a remote place, no one can punish him, which also makes him even more unscrupulous...... Do you know how many old and sick people he threw under him to feed the dogs?"
Lulunaka's voice was accompanied by the barking of three wolfdogs chained to the broken gate. "It's a very bad idea to feed the animals with human flesh, but it's an opportunity for Mr. Captain to maintain his majesty and have fun, isn't it?"
Roque was silent. Lulunaka was telling the truth, and he didn't bother to defend himself.
Lulunaka continued, "What's even more surprising is that there's a man-eating witch here—of course, I'm not talking about me. God knows how many children I burned to ashes that old witch ate that she couldn't sell, or how many women she couldn't sell at all by the captain's gentlemen...... Oh yes, maybe there's more than a few dogs and a witch who cannibalize people. ”
Lulunaka pulled a bone out of her back and threw it underneath. This bone is obviously not an animal bone, look at the length...... I'm afraid it's a human thigh bone. "What did I find in these people's kitchens? It was pitiful, maybe because it was not very convenient to go out to sea to fish at some point, maybe because it was useless to have a few wasteful commodities, in short...... Sometimes, you have to eat some meat to get through, don't you, Mr. Captain?"
Both Olga and Julius' faces changed. Lulunaka made it clear that something even more evil had happened in this sinful place than she had imagined. Whether it's a wolfdog or an old witch, it's no longer a creature within the scope of human beings after all, but what if humans follow suit and do the same thing?
Olga drew her sword and wanted to jump down and cut the man named Roque into a pile of flesh, but was blocked by Lulunaka's cane, "Lord Olga, this is not the time for you to be a hero - don't rob Julius of his prestige." ”
Julius, who was originally quite nervous, now has a solemn face. "You ...... Are you still human?"
Roque grinned, "Why, do you want to berate me like a hero, stinky boy? I don't know what it's like to be hungry like you......, do you?"
Julius interrupted Roque, "The bark, the pits, the dregs of the ears." ”
Julius's words made Roque stunned, he didn't understand what Julius was talking about, "Stinky boy, are you crazy, you can't even speak?"
Julius continued, "Clay, rhizomes, rats...... There's always something to eat, as long as you don't want to go hungry, as long as you want to live...... There's always a way. But for someone like you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even think of the choice you think cannibalism!"
Julius roared and rushed towards Roque. "I'm going to kill you, cannibal dead pig!"
Roque raised his sword and axe and held it against his chest. Julius flew in and stabbed Roque in the chest, and the two men's weapons bounced off the moment they met, and then they both took a few steps back, opening up a safe distance.
"You stinky boy want to educate me too? A hideous smile appeared on Roque's face, "Let me educate you about this bamboo pole, why do people have to eat meat to live......"
Roque brandished the two weapons Lulunaka had thrown at him and charged towards Julius.
Julius held his cross-sword to his chest and watched as Roque rushed towards him, as if he had seen a huge wave coming towards him. Just like when I was hanging under the cape.
Julius, with angry feelings in his heart, also rushed towards Roque.
Lulunaka crouched on the edge of the platform, watching the fight below. "It's so inflammatory, both of them are as naïve as children. ”
"I don't think it's a good thing you're doing this, Lulunaka. Olga stood behind Lulunaka, her hand still on the hilt of her sword, "That man is not a good person, and he can see that he has some ability. ”
"Don't you believe Julius? If you are used to children, sooner or later things will happen to children. It's better to let them know the dangers of life as soon as possible. Lulunaka turned her head and looked up at Olga, who looked a bit like a girl of her age—if she was really as young as she looked, and hadn't done something as cruel as the two people below to fight for the death.
Julius and Roque's fight didn't last long, just a matter of minutes. Roque was just a warrior of the Black Iron Class, and Julius was a rookie who had just picked up a weapon for a few days, and the battle between the two was really not very pleasing to the eye, even ugly. Julius moved around Roque with his nimble body, dodging Roque's wave of slashes. He had already covered himself with dust from rolling on the ground frequently, but it was better to be dismantled, disemboweled, and disemboweled.
Eventually, Julius found an opportunity and circled to Roque's side, half-crouching, he raised his crosssword, aimed it at Roque's armpit, stabbed it in, and then pulled it out. The silver-white sword body was inserted into the flesh, bringing out bright red blood, and the wound was like a spring, constantly flowing red blood.
Roark let out a cry of pain and fell to his knees, "You goddamn little worm!" Roque roared, but the loud voice didn't diminish his pain. He fell to his knees, apparently having lost the ability to continue fighting.
Julius stood aside, panting, this victory did not come easily, his heart was beating very hard now. Dodging the attacks of a warrior with a lot of combat experience like Roque was even more terrifying for Julius than being besieged by dozens of people just now. At that time, Olga would cover him on the sidelines, and now, he is facing Roque alone.
And he succeeded, and on his own, he defeated Roque.
Lulunaka, who was watching from above, shook her head, "It's too tender. ”
As soon as Lulunaka finished speaking, Roque, who was kneeling on the ground, grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Julius's head. Julius, who had not had time to rejoice in his victory, was caught off guard by the sand in his eyes, covered his eyes with his hands, and fell to the side of his crosssword.
"Die, stinky boy!" Roque stood up, axe in his hand slashing down on top of Julius' head. As long as he can kill this self-righteous little bastard in front of him, who can really represent justice, then he has a chance to live - as long as Lulunaka doesn't lie to him!
This opportunity was right in front of him, but it was out of reach. An arrow scurryed through and sank into the back of his neck.
The archery man was Olga. He held in his hand the bow and arrows he had picked up on the ground, their original owners presumably in the pile of corpses.
Lulunaka stood up, looked at Julius covering her eyes, shook her head and sighed, "Not good enough, little hero." ”
